Bookkeeping for Law Firms. IOLTA-Compliant. Tax-Ready.

Monthly retainer bookkeeping built for bar compliance, trust reconciliation, and audit-ready financials - handled for you, on time, every time.

Clean, Compliant, Monthly Bookkeeping - Built for Law Firms.

We work exclusively with law firms - which means IOLTA trust accounting, three-way reconciliation, and bar-ready reports aren’t upgrades.
They’re built into the system from day one.

  • Wondering if your trust balances are even accurate?

  • Still juggling invoices, transactions, and compliance on your own?

  • Feeling the tax season chaos creep in… again?

We fix that. Fast.

What Your Law Firm Gets With Structured, Monthly Bookkeeping.

COMPLIANCE

IOLTA trust reconciliations completed monthly - in bar-compliant format, not QuickBooks guesswork.

VISIBILITY

Financial reports delivered monthly - so you know exactly what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.

CLEANUP

Backlogged or messy books brought current - without needing you to explain what went wrong.

SIMPLICITY

Streamlined systems that eliminate busywork - so you never have to micromanage your books again.

COMMUNICATION

No chasing. No crickets. Just proactive communication you can always count on.

ALIGNMENT

We map your books to how your firm actually runs - retainers, trust flows, and all.

What Law Firms Ask Before Hiring Us

  • Yes. Most of our clients are solo or small firm attorneys managing trust accounts without internal financial staff. We become your off-site financial system - compliant, monthly, and proactive.

  • You’ll fill out a quick intake form. We review your books. Then we meet to discuss what’s working, what’s not, and exactly what comes next. No fluff. No generic checklists.

  • Yes - we handle cleanups often. Whether your trust account hasn't been reconciled in months or your ledgers don’t tie out, we can clean it up fast and get you fully compliant.

  • Legal bookkeeping requires trust compliance, matter-level accuracy, and monthly three-way reconciliations. We don’t “just do books” - we protect your license with financial systems designed for your profession. You can learn more about legal bookkeeping here.

  • We work in QuickBooks Online, are Certified ProAdvisors, and integrate with Clio and LeanLaw. Your trust ledgers, billing software, and financial reports stay aligned.

  • We typically onboard new clients within 3–5 business days. If you're under time pressure due to audits, bar inquiries, or tax deadlines, we’ll prioritize accordingly.

  • Perfect. We’re not replacing them - we’re making their job easier. We handle the monthly work they don’t, and ensure your books are clean, accurate, and tax-ready by the time they need them.

  • No. After cleanup (if needed), most of our clients are on a monthly retainer - but we keep it month-to-month. You stay because it’s working, not because you're locked in.

Still have questions? Book a consult - we’ll walk through it together, no pressure.
